Cute cottas in Vamo. We had never been to Sarasota FL and this was a great trip. The cottage was very cozy and perfect for our little family of 3. Very dog friendly (we left our pup at home with Dad). We used the kayaks and bikes and cooked many meals. It’s very convenient to grocery stores. It’s about 15-30 minutes to a beach depending on time of day and which one you go to. This property has a cute back yard where I think I could have spent an entire afternoon. I enjoyed drinking my coffee out there and reading in the sunshine. Beautiful stay at a quaint cottage. Thank you!

Wish we could have stayed longer!

We had a such great time for our month long stay in Vamo. Our dog loved the big back yard. The house was cozy and sun filled, and the neighborhood very quiet. It worked well for us. We made use of the kayaks and paddled out to midnight pass. My husband enjoyed playing Pickleball at nearby Potter park. We did some fishing, hit the beaches, enjoyed the sarasota downtown market, Sharky’s on the pier, Evie’s tiki bar, Brohard dog beach, outdoor live music, and explored many other spots that were just a short drive. In the evening, we would often walk the dog just one street over on Vamo Dr to view the sunsets.

Beautiful Property, Clean, Great Yard, Excellent Location.

Located on a quiet dead-end street, yet just a few blocks from all the stores and restaurants. Two kayaks provided allowed us to get out on the Intercoastal Waterway with boat access just 1 block away. We were on a fishing trip, so it was perfect location with access to many popular beaches and fishing areas. House was a very clean, updated 2 bedroom/1 Bath with lots of great counterspace and everything you need to prepare meals. Comfortable beds. Huge backyard with grill, fire pit, patio lights. Even the small things that made a difference....beach chairs, beach umbrellas, coolers, kayak dollies, a hose to wash sand off the beach gear, washer/dryer...it made it as comfortable as being at home. . Would definitely stay here again!

Adorable coastal gem

My husband and I had an amazing stay in this adorable coastal cottage. The Vamo boat launch is literally the next street over and we enjoy kayaking, fishing and bike riding the neighborhood. Our dog particularly looooved the big fenced in backyard along with the dog toys that were supplied in the house. All beach supplies, toys and chairs were provided. Thank you so much for the amazing stay and hospitality!

Not fair to write a review as wife broke her ankle early in the month so visit was not comparable to a regular visit. Host was very quick to react to our "Not so usual" needs.
